Dark Souls 2 Any% No Hit - Bow Only

(and also a ballista)
Can only do damage with the bow/arrows on enemies.
No damage consumables like firebombs, or unarmed attacks on enemies.

Took 3 attempts overall, previous was a 1 hit pb at rotten and I stopped there, so most of this was improv. That doesn't mean this run was easy for me by any means. Overall DPS is still low which can make fights last longer and more dangerous. You can kill enemies at range but it really makes no difference. Each shot takes quite a bit of stamina, so typically I shoot twice and have enough stamina for about 1 roll in case I whiff, or an enemy sidesteps.

I originally wanted to use either shortbow or blackbow for the first 2 routes, but I went with longbow because I unlock McDuff anyway, and I didn't think I needed blackbow.

I kept Licia alive to prevent a crypt forlorn from spawning in, because she's easier to deal with.
I don't set up red tearstone ring for rotten in case I roll into the fire, which does happen in the run.

No shulva route, I grab ascetics after Flexile Sentry and Congregation, and start with 1 to let me kill 4 Rottens to get past the shrine of winter. I didn't feel like grabbing an extra branch or doing sentinels so halfway through I go warp to wharf for Flexile

I grab poison arrows from Gavlan (x20), in the gutter (x20), and at Tseldora in the spider room (x15)
